| あの人気セリフの誕生経緯が判明！？ ――――「艦これ」も３周年を迎えて４年目に入りましたが、 さまざまな作品でファンの皆さんからお手紙やプレゼントなどを頂くんですけど、 ――――「艦これ」観艦式などでも、セリフに対して提督の皆さんは温かい反応を返してくれていましたね。 そうなんです！ 第弐回「艦これ」観艦式の時は熊野をメインでやらせていただいたんですけど、 ――――ちなみに「とぉおぉう！」はどんな経緯で生まれたセリフなんでしょうか？ 熊野は育ちのよいお嬢様なんですけど、そんなお嬢様が頑張って頑張りすぎた結果、 ――――期間限定ボイスのほうでも、熊野はお茶目なものが多いようですが。 節分の恵方巻きで「もごもご」言っていたときは、 ――――鈴谷と熊野の絡みも増えてきていますよね。 期間限定ボイスなどで、それぞれのセリフで相手のことしゃべっていて、 ――――今ではすっかり艦娘たちとともに歩んでいる感じがありますが、 お話をいただいてから、セリフを収録する前にどんなゲームか検索してみると、 ――――どう見てもかわいい女の子ですしね。 擬人化作品っていろいろありますけど ――――さまざまな想いを込めてセリフを収録された艦娘たちですが、 一番最初は、オール３０の建造で来てくれた夕張でした。 ――――それは相当運がいいですね！ それまでは自分の担当する艦がどの子もなかなか来てくれなかったんですけど、 |
The circumstances behind the creation of that popular line have been revealed at last! -- Now that KanColle has celebrated its third anniversary and entered its fourth year, is there anything that left a particularly lasting impression on you when, for example, playing the game or attending offical fan events like the Naval Reviews, and that you would like to share with us? I've received letters, presents etc. from fans of many different franchises, but even among them nothing makes me witness a bigger burning passion than KanColle, like, I can really feel it when people tell me "I love this character!", and that passion gets even stronger over the years, you know. -- Even at events such as the KanColle Naval Reviews the admirals responded with affection to those lines, didn't they? They sure did! At the Second KanColle Naval Review I was mainly playing as Kumano, and whenever I shouted the line "Wooooo↑ooooah↓!" the crowd just went nuts and laughed. -- Speaking of which, how did the line "Wooooo↑ooooah↓!" come into being in the first place? I was basically told "Kumano is a well-bred girl from a rich family, but also such a try-hard that she ended up being kinda weird, so please give us a shout with all that in mind, if you will". *laughs* -- Kumano also has many limited-time voice lines where she's being playful. When she was going "Omnomnom" while eating the ehōmaki during Setsubun, I initially imagined her trying really hard to eat it, but the line turned out to be too hard to understand, so I was instructed to "please make it a bit more intelligible, but still sound like your cheeks are stuffed", among other things...... -- There are more and more scenes where both Suzuya and Kumano appear together, aren't there? The limited-time voice lines, to name an example, had moments where each line had them talking to each other, turning it into something like a conversation between them. That way you have so many more ways to play around with the characters, which is so much fun, don't you think? -- I'm sure the ship girls have thoroughly become second nature to you by now, but what was your impression of KanColle like back during your first recording sessions? When I was told about it, I looked it up before starting to work on the voice recordings to see what kind of game it was, and I got the impression that it was a game about warship that apparently was so popular that prospective admirals had to enter a raffle first, but when I got the script my first reaction was something along the lines of "That's...... a ship?". *laughs* -- Well, they're cute girls no matter how you look at them. There are many works out there that feature anthropomorphised items, but I was really surprised, like "So that's what warships look like when you turn them into humans...". -- I see you really put your heart and soul into your ship girls' voice line recordings. Which one of them did you get first in the game? The first one was Yūbari, whom I built with All 30. -- Now that's some luck! Until then I didn't have any luck getting even one of my girls, so one day I decided to do the daily quests and hit construction with all 30. I still remember the goose bumps I got when I saw the golden background. |
